I call July 2022 the start of the 10th chapter of my life. I have done so many different art/design/business pursuits in my life, and I thought they would coalesce around my 40th birthday. Hah! That wasn’t even close. But now I think it IS time that they all come together. I don’t know how yet, but this writing has me going back over these chapters to see where they all tie together.

Inventing a new way to use photography that utilized my unique ability

Creating a way to present a client 35 different design ideas. Innovation or heresy?

Most design firms approach the client like they have the “perfect solution” for them. From being both a client and a supplier I know that it’s almost impossible to come up with a solution that meets all the client’s need. Working with design firm R.Bird, I developed a methodology where a design firm can go beyond the brief a client presents, and create a whole range of possible solutions the client never thought of.
